Podcast
In his podcast “Peter and the Forest”, Peter Wohlleben goes looking for answers in the forest. Do trees actually have feelings? is just one of the questions that Wohlleben investigates. This time, Peter explains the dangers of ticks.
Help, I have a tick! How and where can this easily happen? What do you have to do to get rid of them? And why can tick bites sometimes be really dangerous? Peter Wohlleben, who has been affected by numerous tick bites and Lyme disease himself, investigates all these questions in this episode of his podcast and asks the doctor and Lyme disease expert Volker Brenn. He explains how easy it is to remove a tick, what the consequences of a bite can be and what symptoms to look out for that require a doctor’s visit. The good news: you can even do something about chronic Lyme disease.
